Product Description
Cable 8723 2 Pair Belden Equivalent LSZH (Cable-D8723A-600V-LSZH-100M) is a screened control cable rather than a typical video/power lead — it's the sort of cable an installer reaches for when running signal wiring alongside other cabling in a rack, panel or trunking where interference could be an issue.
Each of the two pairs is individually screened (wrapped in a foil layer that blocks electrical noise from nearby cables), and the whole cable has an LSZH outer sheath — that's Low Smoke Zero Halogen, meaning that if it's ever caught in a fire it gives off less toxic smoke and no halogen gas, which is why it's specified for enclosed spaces such as risers, ducts and plant rooms where normal PVC-sheathed cable wouldn't be allowed.
This isn't a camera cable for a CCTV run — it's aimed at low-voltage control and instrumentation wiring: things like 4-20mA sensor loops, 0-10V control signals, 24V digital control lines, line-level audio, and general panel wiring. If you're planning a job that mixes this kind of signal cable with mains or high-current cabling in the same containment, the individual screening is what keeps the signal clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LSZH mean and why does it matter?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. If the cable is ever involved in a fire, it produces less toxic smoke and no halogen gas, which is why it's often specified for enclosed or public spaces.
Is this cable suitable for CCTV camera runs?
It's designed as a low-voltage control and instrumentation cable, listed for uses such as 4-20mA and 0-10V signals, 24V control, line-level audio, computer communication and panel wiring, rather than as a dedicated camera video cable.
Why does it have individual screening on each pair?
Each of the two pairs is individually screened with an aluminium-Mylar foil, which helps block electrical interference - useful where this cable runs alongside other wiring that could introduce noise.
What gauge and conductor type does it use?
It uses 22 AWG (7-strand) tinned stranded copper conductors across its two pairs.
